This unique piece of fashion is melded with the latest technology to create a Bond-like aura whenever you put it on. Sure, it is no piece of haute couture but then again, how many ties do you have in your wardrobe that comes with an extremely high resolution CCD pinhole camera that is discreetly hidden and is capable of recording up to 280 minutes’ worth of video, depending on the size of the memory card used?
In addition, the video recorder also boasts an integrated monitor and a remote control unit. The 2.4″ TFT LCD monitor makes it possible for you to review what you have just recorded, and there are up to 4 recording modes to choose from. You can either set it to automatic, manual, motion detection, or scheduled. This Spy Tie accepts SD cards as the recording media of choice, supporting up to 4GB worth of data. Unfortunately, the device has a battery life of only 1 hour so having so much space is pretty pointless.

If you enjoy dunking the odd digestive in your tea or coffee, this is the solution to the not enough hands problem (okay problem is probably an exaggeration), the dunk mug.The dunk mug has a compartment at the bottom to store your biscuits prior to dunking, so you can hold the mug in one hand and and retrieve one biscuit at a time ready for the dunk.

I believe that being woken up with something like the Sonic Boom alarm clock might actually do more harm than good. Does anyone else share the same belief? Wasn’t there a study that proved that your day would probably be better off when started with a soothing alarm clock rather than a 113 dB eardrum jarring alternative?
I mean, if waking up with a splitting headache sounds like your kind of morning, by all means, do check out the Sonic Boom Alarm Clock [via]. The beats will definitely rock your mornings - and not in the good way. The damn thing even comes with a 12V bed shaker just in case the car horn like blast has no effect on your deep sleep patterns.

The Stain Detector Light uses ultraviolet (billed as “amazing” - the jury is still out) light to reveal stains that aren’t visible under normal lighting conditions.Use the light to track down blood (but I think you would have another problem is you have blood all over your place) or well other DNA evidence. For fun bring this puppy on your next trip and play count the stains at your next hotel stay!The detector runs on 4 AA batteries and includes a BONUS flash light.

To make your own Homer bust you need to solve 150 individual jigsaw puzzles and then slot them together in order (they are numbered fortunately) to build your 3D masterpiece. Once the bust is complete you can paint it with the included characteristic Simpson yellow paint.One thing we learnt the hard way is not throw away the black bit of curved card that looks like an offcut as that’s actually Homer’s hair.
